True North - This is the direction to reach full potential
*********************************************
One of the greatest qualities I find in Jack Welch is his ability to keep moving, trying new approaches and constantly growing. He does not stop at obstacles. Instead, he practices what he teaches in class. He shows how to use the 3Ss - Simplicity, Self-confidence and Speed - masterfully.
In the latest LinkedIn article, Jack and Suzy Welch teach how to navigate through complex work situations and continually find work that excites and leads to sustained happiness. I think this is one of their best articles ever as it serves as a sign-post for leaders to reach full potential.
